I hated the road noise and the firm feel from the OEM Conti's. Replaced with Michelin Crossclimate II's and the ride is much smoother and quieter.
I have the cross climates on my wife’s Acura RDX. I’m very impressed with them in the snow and equally impressed this past summer on dry pavement.
To make things easier, I put a K & N cabin filter in so I don’t have to replace it every year. I need to clean it as it’s due.
I'm about to do mine in a 2017 RDX as well, and just picked up the Aisin kit.
I can vouch for PIAA Super Silicone wiper blades on my 2018 RDX that I sold in 2024, and haven’t gotten around to putting on my new vehicle. My PIAA Super Silicone experience was extremely long life span compared to the other blades I used to use (I think RainX). I was replacing blades like 2x per year. My PIAAs went for years with great performance.
DIY Guy here, I always use Denso parts for my Hondas when it comes to electrical stuff. Denso is the OEM parts supplier for Honda's alternators. I just replaced an alternator in my sister's 2011 Acura RDX with a remanufactured Denso unit and she's had no problems with it at all.
I did this set up for my 2014 RDX Tech. I went with Bosch and I have to replace my front pads again and will be changing them again with Bosch.
When I got my Acura RDX it came with eagle rsa and I felt it was okay to fine at best. Wet handling was really good for California wet season but the kind of traction wanted was not there. Was at best wheel skipping with 2k rpm launch.
after 70k be worried about your head gasket failing. Idk if Honda ever improved the head studs or torqued them tighter but earlier models up to 2023 with more than 70k miles are likely to have head gasket issues resulting in misfiring.
I have nokian’s do not buy.They are not very good.Get real snow tires if you really are looking for safety.
